Thread Name: BS: Ending the Love Affair
Subject: RE: BS: Ending the Love Affair
A guy has an accident and falls into a coma.

As his body lies dormant on the hospital bed, he floats up and meets St Peter, who says:

"come with me, I'm going to show you heaven and hell so you know what you're in for when you die."

He leads the man to a vast banquetting hall and tells him: "this is heaven".

Then he takes him to another banquetting hall and tells him: "this is hell".

The man is confused as he has seen no real difference betwen the two halls. Both were supplied with every detail a banquet could need. The best food, the finest wine, entertainment, plush decor, fantastic service etc. You name it, they both had it.

He voiced his confusion to St Peter who chuckled knowingly to himself, and showed both halls to the man again.

This time the man noticed that all the guests in heaven and hell had four foot long knives and forks strapped to their arms.

The difference was, that in Heaven they were feeding each other, whilst in hell they were trying to feed themselves.

Now there are obvious ideas to be considered in this story, but the most important for me is this.

That it is a guide/plan that can help you to find your way through life.

When you walk into a room, look and see who's trying to feed others, and who's trying to feed themselves. If you choose the latter, you are allowing yourself to be drawn into hell on earth.

Likewise, if you choose the former, you will surround yourself with people that enrich you, and you can concentrate on enriching them too.

You have to be discriminatng though and uncompromising in your decision making. You must also be fair.

You must listen to your instinct, but you must also be informed.

I would wager that you were blind to your exes faults from the start, and are probably in denial about them now.
